Another North crony involved in the ``Get LaRouche'' task force was
Langhorne Washburn, of Middleburg, Va. Washburn, a wealthy Republican, was a top
fundraiser for the Republican Party from 1960 onward. During the first Nixon
administration, Washburn served as the Number 2 money man for CREEP, getting
appointed Assistant Secretary for Commerce as a reward for bringing in the bucks
to Nixon's coffers.

Washburn also raised money for North's Contras. At the same time, his sister
Fawan was a financial supporter of LaRouche. When Langhorne found out his sister
was supporting LaRouche, he and his brother, Stanley Washburn, Jr., attempted to
have their sister declared mentally incompetent, citing her contributions to the
LaRouche movement as evidence. Washburn then hooked up with Donald Moore, and
Virginia Attorney General Mary Sue Terry, to get the Commonwealth of Virginia to
join the prosecution of LaRouche.

But, at the same time that Langhorne was trying to have his sister declared
incompetent for supporting LaRouche, he was encouraging North's fundraisers to
solicit her for contributions to the Contras! In a deposition of North
fundraiser Dan Conrad, taken by attorneys for the Congressional committee
investigating the Iran/Contra scandal, Conrad testified that Langhorne Washburn
urged him to solicit Fawan for $10,000 to the Contras.
